What will you learn?
Get practical with Scrum
This course does just that. We visit or perhaps revisit for some of you the essential elements in the Scrum framework and the Scrum process. Along the way, we provide answers to the practical challenges you will undoubtedly face.
A daily Scrum
A short and sweet topic, or it should be. Here you'll learn how long your standup should take, who should participate and what questions need to be answered. Maybe you've encountered one of the following challenges already: a standup lasting longer than half an hour or various status updates with different stakeholders taking valuable time out of your day. Not anymore after this course!
The product owner
You'll learn about their two primary responsibilities: planning and creating the work and ordering the backlog. Unfortunately, he faces some challenges in his day-to-day work as well. Discover how to deal with the apparent lack of control and how multiple product owners can work together.
The Scrum master
The facilitator, coach and problem solver of the team. In this part, you'll discover that the job of a Scrum master has its challenges. Firstly, they must understand there's an essential difference between being a leader and a manager. Secondly, they must make sure not to fall asleep and keep striving for continuous improvement while being assertive enough.
The sprint ceremonies
Next up are the sprint ceremonies - or events or meetings as a human being might like to call them. Sprint planning is typically the most elaborate meeting of all. First, the team agrees on the work that can be taken up from the sprint backlog.
2 more ceremonies
At the end of the sprint, there are two more ceremonies: the sprint retrospective, where the team strives for continuous improvement, and the sprint review, where stakeholders can give feedback on the product increment. Each ceremony has its challenges, but you'll know how to face them thanks to this course!
